West Brom supporters have been discussing winger Oliver Burke this week after a fan account posted the latest on his form so far.
The Scotsman is currently out on loan at La Liga outfit Alaves, who sit 15th, six points from the bottom three.
He has racked up 17 appearances for Basque-based side, although just five have been starts, per Transfermarkt. In that run, the 22-year-old has only managed one assist and is yet to contribute on the scoresheet.
This has unsurprisingly led to several members of the Hawthorns faithful slamming him ahead of a potential reunion this summer as his contract doesn’t expire until 2022.
Here’s what has been said:
Some supporters couldn’t contain their laughter at his measly returns in Spain while one brandished him the “biggest waste of money” the club have ever paid and are likely to pay.
Another hoped that they would buy him this summer, so the club-record flop doesn’t have to return to the west Midlands.
Burke cost the club £15m back in 2017 from RB Leipzig, becoming the most expensive Scottish player ever.
One member of the Baggies faithful blasted him for being a “waster” while a further fan said it was a sad turn of events given the potential he arrived with over two years ago.
Others then made comparisons about his current ability…
A tongue in cheek comment from one fan suggested that they wouldn’t even want Burke back as a ball boy whilst another pondered whether he would be good enough for a League One outfit, rather than a promotion-chasing Championship side like West Brom.
Where is he from?! Can you name which obscure countries these famous players have represented?
There was even some optimism that they could get some sort of fee for him with £3-4m a figure they could expect.
